A new method of broadcast complaints
April 27th, 2008 at 8:34 am by David FarrarThe Herald on Sunday reports on a novel new method of complaining about a broadcaster. After she was cut off on talkback, a woman called Margaret turned up to see John Tamihere and WIllie Jackson, along with a “dangerous looking dog”.
Now imagine what fun radio it would have made if she had managed to get inside the broadcast booth with said dog. You’d hear barking, running, growling (probably from Willie!), screams (from JT), and general mayhem. It would be a wonderful boost to ratings. And eventually people would hear the sirens as the Police turn up to shoot the dog, and the ambulance turns up to patch up the hosts.

Cripes – I don’t blame Tamihere for staying behind closed doors – who in their right mind would confront an angry bitch, uh, that’s to say, a menacing dog.

“Margaret” is a regular caller and defender of everything Labour, I have often heard Tamihere say she is on the Labour party “roster”, apparently those on the roster are encouraged to ring the talk back stations in defense of the govt if the tone of the show is going against dear leader.

Does anybody know if it is it possible to hear the call via an archive or something like 1zb has?
